Self-Portrait Drawings Were Done 15 Minutes Apart by a 5-Year-Old Girl with Motor Planning and Coordination Challenges

Self portraits before and after. Text: Results in 15 minutes

“This is a little girl who not long before this cried in my movement class, looking down at her legs, [saying], ‘they don’t work!’ ”

These Before-and-After drawings show remarkable change after 15 minutes of doing innate rhythmic movements from the Brain and Sensory Foundations course. Notice there are no legs drawn in the “Before” drawing; in the “After” self-portrait, she includes her legs!
